The Martial Unity

Half a day later, even Rui was starting to get a little bored as he had come to gather nearly all of the data he had wanted. There was nothing new or novel to be gathered from the roots pummeling down the Martial Artists.

In fact, it was quite distasteful to watch. Those Martial Squires were certainly his enemies as warriors of Chairman Deacon but at the same time, they also were fellow Martial Artists. It was unpleasant for him as a Martial Artist to witness his fellow peers get absolutely demolished by a dungeon for Martial Squires.

He definitely held pride amidst his love for his Martial Art, and Martial Art in general, thus he did feel affronted by the end outcome, even if he had entirely predicted that it would come to pass, even if he himself had set into motion the series of events that led to this devastating loss.

"Don't worry, I'll get revenge for all of you," He said, without a single shred of shame. He didn't even realize how shameless the statement was.

Kane, however, did, looking at Rui through the side of his eyes with a skeptical expression. "I don't think you of all people get to say that to them, you know?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Rui said, getting up.

"Where are you going?" Kane asked.

"The fight has ended, so I'm off to clear the dungeon, of course, and to ensure that a rat doesn't escape," Rui replied.

"Rat? No, wait, you're going to clear it immediately?" Kane asked with a surprised expression. "Shouldn't you, I dunno, prepare more or something?"

"Nope, I'm good," Rui replied with a single word. "You should come along too, you won't be partaking, but knowing you're nearby does help."

"Alright," Kane sighed.

The two of them hurried down until they reached the Root floor, Rui swiftly entered the floor, while Kane stayed back behind.
